The Flames are about to be a non-factor for years, right when our arena is in desperate need of replacement, ownership and the municipal government are feuding, and the majority owner has already severed ties with the city (and the country).
Things are looking very, very dire for the future of this franchise.

Remember most of the 1990s until the early 2000s? I do. I believe that is where we are heading. Now we get to find out who are the hardcore fans and who are the bandwagoners.
I think the only thing that can save this team now is some kind of positive news. A Tkachuk signing or arena announcement would definitely help. If Tkachuk heads out the door next, it is going to start looking like the mass exodus of star players that left in the 1990s and early 2000s. It's really hard to recover a reputation after that happens.
